NFR Green Mountain Grill - Daniel Boone Pellet Grill

Not sure how many pellet grillers there are on WFF but had to share my enthusiasm for my new grill. A few weeks ago, got my hands on a GMG Daniel Boone and have been having fun playing around with it. Had enjoyed meats off my parents Traeger Lil Tex Elite for a while and been planning to pull the trigger on the Traeger but learned about GMG and a deal was running at a nearby dealer.

I have a Traeger and love it. Pulled pork, salmon, ribs, etc are great. One of the easiest things is to just split a whole chicken, throw it on smoke for an hour or two, then turn it up to finish. It's simple, easy, and an awesome meal.

On my second Traeger. Started with a Jr, changed the control to the digital, then gave it to my son and bought the Costco Traeger (like the Lil Tex Elite). Would have loved a Green Mt. but was too cheap. Love pellet stoves and have done almost everything on the Traeger. One of the best was a brined and smoked 12 pound turkey. Best turkey ever. Brined and smoked chickens are wonderful. Prime rib, bone-in pork loins. The list can be endless and it is all good.

I have a Louisiana Grill. I bought it because it gets hotter than a Traeger & after I evaluated both, the Louisiana construction was confirmed as more robust. I also preferred that auger feed. I've never seen a GMG, but they look hell for stout; I like the monster pellet hopper. While I don't like a steady diet of meat/food off a pellet grill, there are foods that it cooks better imho. Mine does get used a lot & year-around. I've looked at Green Eggs, but haven't pulled the trigger . . . yet; these also produce wonderful results & succulent food.

Can't smoke anything inside the house (well maybe I could but the wife would probably kill me). Cooking outside in the warmer months it's nice being able to slow roast things for hours without heating up the whole house in the process. Everyone has their preferences, believe me - I hear all about the charcoal fans - good for them. That flavor, hassle, etc is not for me. An investment in a pellet grill made sense for what I intend to and have used it for.

The green eggs are nice, but being a thrifty bugger , I'm waiting to find one at a garage sale !

I have both, although my dog knows that the grills are "off-limits.". Plus my neighborhood is full of outdoor cats & wasps. I keep my grills covered & place the drip buckets/trays inside of the grill when not in use & grill covers over the units themselves. Keeping them in a mostly shaded are defeats wasps.
